Indiana: First day of class

So I finally moved into the residence hall yesterday. (btw the post before this was actually written on Saturday, but I didn't have time to finish it and post it) Anyways, Tim and Erin helped me move into my room. It's a single room on the 10th floor so I get a really good view out my window of the school and the city (not that there is anything exciting to look at other than trees but it's still kind of cool). I met some of the people on my floor and they seem very nice. Most of them are white, of course. I also got to meet a lot of my fellow Actuarial Science grad students whom I will be spending the next 2 years with. They are very helpful and friendly. I'm really excited for this program to study hard and finish strong!

As I mentioned in my first post, one of my prayers in the next 2 years is that I would become stronger as a man of God so that my inner man would grow stronger. Well, God has already been answering my prayer regarding this. But I realized that in order for me to become a stronger man of God, He puts me through times of testings and trials so that when I come out of it, I will have learned and grown from it. As James 1:2-5 says  "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."


Random: I came across a chart of discipline, trials, and tempation (check it out!):
